Revelation 17
1 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying, Come hither; I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon the many waters;
Mme mongwe wa baengele ba ba su pang ba ba neng ba tshololetse dipetso mo lefatsheng a tla a bua le nna. A re, “Ntshala morago, ke tlaa go supegetsa se se tlaa diragalelang seaka se se tumileng; se se ntseng mo godimo ga metse a mantsi a lefatshe.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Dikgosi tsa lefatshe di ne tsa akafala naso, le batho ba tagisitswe ke mofine wa boaka jwa sone.”
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Jalo moengele a ntsaya ke le mo moweng a nkisa kwa sekakeng. Teng koo ka bona mosadi a palame sebatana se se hibidu se se neng se na le ditlhogo di supa le dinaka di le lesome, se kwadilwe matlhapa gongwe le gongwe ka mafoko a a tlhapatsang Modimo.
4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and the impurities of the fornication of the earth,
Mosadi yo o ne a apere diaparo tse di borokwa le bohibidu le manyena a mantle a a dirilweng ka gauta le majana a botlhokwa le ditalama, mme a bo a tshotse phafana ya gauta e tletse tse di makgapha, ebong dilo tse di maswe tsa kgokafalo ya gagwe.
5 and upon her forehead a name written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Mme ga bo go kwadilwe mo phatleng ya gagwe sesupo se se gakgamatsang se re, “Babelone yo Mogolo, Mmadiaka le wa Kobamelo ya Disetwa, gongwe le gongwe mo tikologong ya Lefatshe.”
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder.
Ke ne ka bona gore o ne a tlhapetswe, a tlhapetswe ke madi a baswela tumelo ba ga Jesu ba a ba bolaileng. Ka mo tlhoma matlho ke tshogile thata.
7 And the angel said to me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads, and the ten horns.
Mme moengele a botsa a re, “Ke eng fa o gakgametse jaana? Ke tlaa go bolelela gore mosadi yoo ke mang le gore sebatana se o se palamang se raya eng.
8 The beast which thou sawest, was, and is not, and is to come up out of the abyss, and goeth into perdition; and they that dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and yet will come. (Abyssos g12)
Sebatana se se ne se tshela mme jaanong ga se tlhole se tshela. Le fa go ntse jalo se tlaa tloga se tswa mo moleting o o senang bolekanngo se ya kwa tatlhegong ya bosakhutleng; mme batho ba lefatshe, ba maina a bone a sa kwalwang mo Lokwalong lwa Botshelo pele ga tshimologo ya lefatshe, ba tlaa akabadiwa ke go tla ga sone, morago ga se sena go swa. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
“Mme jaanong akanya thata: ditlhogo tsa sone tse supa di emetse motse mongwe o o agilweng mo dithabeng di supa kwa mosadi yo o nnang teng.
10 And they are seven kings; five of them are fallen, one is; the other is not yet come, and when he hath come, he must remain a short time.
Gape di emetse dikgosi di supa. Tse tlhano di setse di ole, jaanong go busa ya borataro, mme ya bosupa e e tla, mme puso ya yone e tlaa nna ka lobakanyana.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, he is an eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Sebatana se sehibidu se se suleng, ke kgosi ya boferabobedi, e e kileng ya busa pele e le nngwe ya tse di supang; morago ga puso ya sone ya bobedi, le sone se tlaa ya tatlhegong.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
Dinaka tsa sone tse some ke dikgosi tse some tse di iseng di amogele bogosi; di tlaa bewa mo bogosing jwa tsone ka lobaka lo lo khutshwane, go busa le sone sebatana.
13 These have one mind, and give their power and authority to the beast.
Tsotlhe di tlaa kwala tumalano ya go neela sebatana nonofo ya tsone le taolo.
14 These will make war with the Lamb; and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Tsotlhe di tlaa tlhabantsha Kwana, mme e tlaa di fenya, gonne ke Morena wa barena botlhe, le Kgosi ya dikgosi, mme batho ba gagwe ke ba ba biditsweng, ba ba tlhophilweng, e bile ke ba ba ikanyegang.
15 And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
“Mawatle, macha le melapo e mosadi o ntseng mo go yone e emetse boidiidi jwa batho jwa merafe yotlhe.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her up with fire.
“Mme sebatana se se hibidu le dinaka tsa sone tse some, tse di emetseng dikgosi tse some tse di tlaa busang naso, tsotlhe di tlaa ila mosadi, mme di tlaa mo tlhasela di mo tlogele a sa ikatega a bo a fisiwe ka molelo.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to do his will, and to form one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Gonne Modimo o tlaa tsenya mo ditlhaloganyong tsa bone, leano le le tlaa tsweledisang maikaelelo a one: ba tlaa dumalana ka bongwe jwa pelo go naya sebatana se sehibidu taolo, gore mafoko a Modimo a tle a diragadiwe.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Mosadi yo o mmonyeng mo ponatshegelong ya gago o emetse motse o mogolo o o busang dikgosi tsa lefatshe.”
